Ryanair brings in fee for cabin bags
Ryanair is to start charging for cabin baggage after old rules caused boarding delays.

All passengers will be allowed one small ‘personal’ bag but must pay €/£8 for 10kg ‘cabin’ bags on booking or unless they take priority boarding, where you can take two free bags.
The rules affect flights after November 1 and those booked after September 1.
People who booked before September 1 can add priority boarding for €/£8 or cancel for a full refund.
